"Isn’t it enough just to practice the yoga, do we have to regulate our food?" wonder many. In itself, practicing yoga, is not just a healthy life but at Rishikesh YTTC, they believe that it is also a way of living, but when complemented with the healthy food habits, it can really create wonders. In fact, eating the right food is an essential part of living a yogic life.
What you eat, not only influences your physical well being, but also your emotions and thoughts. Yoga does not dissect food into proteins, carbohydrates or fats, instead it classifies them according to the effect they have on the body and mind, into three types - Satva, Rajas and Tamas.
Tamasic food is the kind of food which makes you lethargic or sluggish, while Rajasic food is that which brings about activity or restlessness. Whereas, Sattvic food is the kind which makes you feel light, energetic and enthusiastic.
Sattvic foods are those which purify the body and calm the mind. They stimulate the body and mind into action. Cooked food that is consumed within 3-4 hours can be considered sattvic as Rishikesh Yoga Teacher Training Center focus on well being of our students they do sattvic diet for all of them.
These menus are created by their Master Chef Sandeep Semwal who had worked with some of the best 5-star hotels around the world and carries great knowledge about sattvic diet. Along with this, he focuses on hygiene practices at their institution to ensure the food is safe and carries great nutritional values which is much needed for healthy life.
Not just the right kind of food, it is vital to eat the proper quantity of food at the right time. Overindulging leads to lethargy while under eating will not provide enough nourishment. Most of the time, you know that your stomach is full but tempted by the taste buds, you tend to indulge. The right amount of food cannot be quantified into cups or grams, when you listen to your body attentively, you will know when exactly to stop!
You might eat the right kind of food in the right quantity but if you are irregular with your timings then the whole system goes for a toss and the natural rhythm of the body is hampered. Therefore, it is of prime importance to eat food at the same time everyday and eat it at regular intervals.
It is said that the state of the mind of the person cooking / eating also affects the food. The energy in the food cooked by someone while he/she was angry will definitely be lower than that of someone who cooked it with a feeling of love, contentment, and gratitude. Listening to some soothing music or chanting while cooking and eating can help retain the Prana (life force energy) in the food.
It is definitely worthwhile to pay some attention to the food that you eat as the ancient Indian texts say that you are what you eat.
